My Story
We hope that our stories of strength and resilience inspires you to make a difference in someone’s life. A one-time donation of $40 supports a youths’ commute for one month.
About the cause:
Goal: Provide youths from low-income families with travel concession. In our work with school-going youths, we realise many of them present various financial constraints, including insufficient transport money. This impacts their school attendance, participation in community programmes and ability to fulfil daily errands. Our goal is to provide 40 youths with a 12-month travel concession pass. Just by increasing transportation accessibility, we can promote their social mobility towards resources that empower their personal development.
Meet Eddie*
Eddie (16) was a service user of our Youth Services’ school soccer programme. After his parents divorced, Eddie’s split living arrangement had him shuttle between two homes during the week. On one occasion, he turned up late for soccer. Due to insufficient money in his EZ-link card, he made a detour to a relative’s home to borrow some coins to make it for the session. To return home, he approached us quietly to borrow some coins. Youths like Eddie often need to borrow money to commute or scrimp on their allowance. Struggling to commute to school, enrichment programmes or leisure activities impact their morale and growth. We can help provide an EZ-link top-up. One youth at a time, one tap at a time.
